Hello Brian,

I've been trying to find a copy of this 1923 Naval brochure/manual for about 15 years! Not only have you made my decade but you have saved me a lot of cash if I would have ever come across a copy. Thanks very much!

Best regards,

Randall

Randy, you are welcome! I know that for the collecting community this is an important document. Items like this are just too expensive for the average collector (like me) so it is a major event when items like this are scanned and placed here on BOCN or on other web sites. So when I come across such items while searching the web I think it is important to point them out. Brian
